So we were in the supermarket carpark just now, and my husband was getting cranky about the driver in front who was taking so long to do a badly-executed, umpteen-point turn to get into their space that we couldn’t get into ours. Finally a gap opens up, and he says, “Watch this! I’m going to fucking park in here, and I won’t need an eight point turn to do it.”
Me, thinking of the recurring joke on Top Gear about accidents happening whenever a man says “Watch this!” while driving: You know, it’s like that Jeremy Clarkson thing where -
CRUNCH.
Car jolts. Husband stares, disbelieving and furious, at the realisation that he has just scraped the rear side door hard into a concrete pillar.
I bite my lip to keep from laughing and do not quite succeed. Husband glares, gets out to examine the damage - a scrape to the handle and the lower door - then gets back in, decides discretion is the better part of valour, and opts for a different parking space.
So on the one hand, our car is scratched, which sucks. But on the other hand, ironic comedic timing is hilarious.
